A LAY SERMON.
For the past two weeks the people of
Newberry have been greatly aroused
on the subject of religion. The Rev.
R. G. Pearson has preached a number
of strong and powerful sermons which
have been accompanied with the power
of the Spirit and have brought convic
tion to many hearts. Multitudes have
attendea his preaching. There has
been a religious awakening, and much
good has been done. We sincerely
trust it will be lasting in its benefits.
Many have professed Christ and have
pledged to mend their ways. Some
he fifty persons have united with the va
rious churches. When the excitement
of the hour is over and the preacher is
gone, we hope the pledges taken and
the professions made will still be re
membered.
There should be a living of the pro
fessions made. As the preacher told
us, if we are sincerely in earnest, we
need to take this religion into our
offices, andfields, and shops, and places
of business. We want to have the life
sud the character and conversation a
living and ever present testimony of
the religion we profess. If it is not
such as to shine forth in the every day
life, it will not be of much value. It
should make us charitable in our judg- t
ment of others, kind and forbearing,
- ne to another, alwaya ready and will
ing with a helping hand to a brother
in distress or trouble. We should
always take delight in ministering
unto others than in being ministered c
unto. Ever more ready to helpa neigh
bor or friend up the hill rather than to
be always trying to give a push down. 3
That is the religion that Christ taught, a
not only by precept but by example. a
He came to minister unto others and 1
not to be ministered unto, and his n
whole life and suf&er:ag and death bear
testimony to this fact. If we have re
ceived such an awakening here as will t
make us strive harder to follow in his i
footsteps, then we should all be thank- t
fsi for the coming of Rev. Mr. Pearson. d
The good work he has set in motion t
should not stop with his departure.
We should also remember that each
church here has a devoted pastor who e
is with us all the time and who is deep- i
ly interested in all of us, and in the t
weMareof sonis. And it we would only a
hold up their bands and show them a i
little moe appreciation of their efforts I
in our behalf and eo-operate with them
a little more, they would be encouraged
and their hearts would be made glad. d
They are just as muet interested in i
your soul's welfare as Mr. Peason:
they are just as earnest, they are just #
adevoted to their work, they are just
as ready to suffer for your welfare
Our duty now is to be just asrzeady and
willing to give them aid and attend on
their inisrations and bold up thir
bands and encourage and co-operate
with them as we did with the preacb
ing and work of Mr. Penann, and Mr.
Barses wHil be delighted to know and
belheve that we are doing it. If we
have been arosd to a sense of our
duty and oppormunity and privilege in
this mzr, then it is fortunare that a
Mr. Pearson has been with us.
Webhope that all of us will think~
more on these things. and that we will
eein the rescrs lasting benefits to our
town and community. Onr sinere
hopis that one of the resn1ts of this
religious awakenaing will be to put more
love in our hearts for one another, to a
eanse as to be more charitabhe to jndge Io
one another more kindly, to be able to fI
show a greater spirit of fortane

raE DISPNSAEY LAW UNCONSTITU
TIOYAI..
The Supreme Court has at last filed
ts decision in the dispensary case snd
he law Is declared unconstitutional by
t majority of the court. Only that it
xould have been possible to have had
he decision sooner. Justice Pope does
iot agree with a majority of the court,
:>t holds that the law is constitu
tional.
Dispensaries have all been closed and
he State is, at least temporarily, out
:f the whiskey business. But she still
bas a very large supply on hand. Gov.
'illman says business has only been
suspended for the summer to allow
time for repairs. What he means by
that we do not know. We rather sus
peet that Gov. Tillman is really glad
that the decision is as it is. The dis
pensary law was giving him a good
leal of trouble and no doubt he is glad
o be relieved of the responsibility.
alany others who were drawing good
Jlaries no doubt feel just the other
way.
But the decision se rms to need
'urther deciding and elucidating. No
>ne seems to know just what the de
:ision decides, or rather just what the
tatus of affairs is. The best lawyers
'ive it different interpretations. Some
biuk we have prohibition, while others
eem to think that we are beck where
ie were beforei and still others that we
iave no law on the subject at all just
ow and that every body can sell whis
:ey now just as they can sell corn or
scon. It seems to us that we have
lain and simple prohibiton.
In one paragraph the court says:
"After the fullest &ad most careful
and deliberate consideration we feel
onstrained to say that the act is
learly unconstitutional, except in as
ar as it forbids the granting of licenses
o retail spiritous liquors beyond the
uth of June, 183. Under this view
11 subordinate questions presented in
11 the caes, except the first named,
see all practical importance, and need
ot, therefore, be considered."
That portion of the act which re
eels all other acts inconsistent with
his one, it sne to us, is also of no
ree, and, therefore, all the laws on
be subject prior to the passage of the
ispensary set are still of force except
:at under them no license can be
sued to retail spiritous liquors. It is
t the same as if, under the local
prion law, a town voted not to issue
eense. Instead of voting on the ques.
on the Legibiature has pssed an act
tying no Licene shall be issued and
ze Supreme Court says it is a good
6w.
But we most admit that we do net
now just what the efect of the de
aan s:: be. The court says the law
unconstitutional. We are very much

Congressman McLaurin has written
a very caustic letter iu which he cuts
around promiscuously. We agree with
the Congressman when he says we
want to pour some oil on the troubled
waters. "A good, conservative, busi
ness-like Governor, who is not an im
itator, not brilliant, but sensible, will
bring us round all rignt, and the 'old
lady' will be all the better for the little
shaking up she has had." Now we
would like te have him tell us how we
are to secure a man for Governor as
long as the politicians are in the saddle
and caucuses are held and all sorts of
rings are being continually formed.
Mr. McLaurin will find many men to
help him bring about this state of af
fairs if he will only start the movement.
"It is mortifying, humiliating, for poli
tics to be on the low plane" that it is.
You are right, Mr. McLaurin. Then
come along and help u4 to get on a
higher plane.

"THERE IS NO DISPENSARY."
A Consummation Every Patriot So De
voutly Wished-TiUwan as Talkative
as Usual.
[Special to The News and Courier.j
CoLUMBIA, April 21.-The day of tbe
dispensary is at an end. The otiicial
death came to knell at noon to-day. At
that hour telegrams were seiit to every
State barroom in the State. How long
they will be closed is problematicai.
There is, however, just now every
indication that the entire system Las
gone to pieces, never to be revived by
the Legislature. The Court may grant a
rehearing and give the dispensaries a
chance to gasp a little longer and then
the end will come. What is most
peculiar is that there seems to be but
few mourners around the apparently
lifeless thing. Just now, when the
whole matter is at an end, no one
seems to have ever assumed the re
sponsibility of the law. It just dropped
on the statute books "unbekuowings"
to anyone.
CONFCSION WORSE CONFOUNLED.
The dispensaries have been closed.
What next? No one hereabouts seems
to know. It is difficult to suggest pro
babilities, for one moment one thing is
heard and the next moment another.
Until some decision is reached toe dis
pensari-s will be kept closed and all
agencies of the State have orders not.
to sell liquor under any circumstance-.
There is some talk of trying to sell tbe
liquor on hand in a lump sum before
the demurrer is sent down, and there
is a rumor that the stock will be kept
in tact until there is a change in the
complexion of the supreme Court.
THE POSSIBILITY FOR A REHEARING.
Another suggestion made during the
day was that the Att'>rney General
would very probably ask for a r ohear.
fmg of the case, and in that way have
the dispensaries reopen'-d. and just
here it may be wel to put this sugge
tion down for future reference, as
something may happen in this :iue
very shortly. The situation is liablo to
change at any time, and until the
horriole uncertainty is over io one
knows where the State is at.
THE GOVERNOR HAS LITTLE TO SAY.
The one man who knows more than
anyone else about what is going tr> he
done is Governor Tillman. and just
about this time it would be very hard;
to find a more non-committal man.
This morning the newspaper men
waited around for a long time befor.
they could get a peep at Governor Till
mau. It was not known what he was
going to say or how he felt. but he was
just as jovial as if he nad won the eapi
tal prize in the lottery. After greetings
had been exchanged I asked Governor
Tillman "what about the dispensary
situation?''
" fbere is no dispensary," was Gover
nor Tillman's reply.
"Well, what are yon going to do with
the liquor on hand, if there is no di:
pensary, Governor:'
"Oh, well, that is a matter for the
Legislature to decide," was his reply.
"Are you going to call an extra
session of the Legislature?" was the
next query.
With a hearty laugh he answered.
"Exease me if you please." Then he
went on to say: -I won't say anything
about what I am going to do, but I
will tell yon what has already been done:
I have discharged the constables,
ordered all d;spensa:ies t close and
quit business as State barkeeper. Toe
State bar has closed buasine.s and gon
into summer quarters for repairs
Goveraor Tiliman wound up by saying
thatbhewas still in the ring. So much
for the extresion of the Governor, and
if anyone can say a a is comning'det
her roll," as MeLendon would say.
IHE WATCH DOG Of THE STATE TREA.
There was a somewhat signifieant
fact devek>ped durn the payment of~
the dispensary tills whieh eame rus
ing in allday. One of thecelaims was
for about Se and it was made payazile
to Ex-C<matabie Brown for service"'
rendered. It was regularly made out
and approved by Governor Tiliman and
Doxmmioner Traxler. When it was
preented to State Tresrer Ba.es for
payment tie said tha: he wa- no: p-e
pared to pay oct any money on account'
if the dispensary. When I saw I?
Bates about the matter be said that r2e
wras not paying any dispensary elai-s.
When asked whecher this was dones by
sea advice or uponi his own respov
diity he said that be preered no: to

EVANGELISTIC-THE GRAND SUCCESS
OF A NOBLE CAUSE.
The Opera H ouse Crowded Day and Night
for Two Weeks-From One to Two Hun
dred Persous Turned Away the Last
Night-Christians of all Denoa
inations Interested and Bene
ted-Penitents Converted.
Never, in the history of the writer,
has Newberry witnessed such scenes
as have been seen and felt and enjoyed
within her boundaries during the past
two weeks. Men, women and children
of all classes - among the wbites, for the
crowds have been so great that it was
iwpossible for the colored people to be
admitteo,, from the most prominent of
the professional and leading citizens to
the humblest bread-winner in our
midst, have mingled in one donse mass
of humanity that seemed to be drawn
together by an irresistible force and for
a common cause. The old, tottering
up>n the verge of the grave; the young
er, in health vad strength; the little
children, gay and full of life, hav.: lis
tened, a never before, to the old, olri
.-tory of Jesut and his love. Members
of every denomination in this town
attended regularly, and with interest
and earnestness in their hearts: and
their gathering together in this eager,
anxious throng, with moistened eyes
and quivering lips, with beaming faces
and softened hearts, and with expres
sions of forgiveness and charity toward
neigh bors and friends, gave a taste of
the aelights of a ce-sation of hostilities
and strife in Curch and State, and of
the peaceful dawn of the coming mil
lennium which is nearer and nearer at
hand.
Not only have the entire people of
this commurnty :with but few excep
tions, be-.'n suigiug day and night to
the opera nouse, w here the services were
held, but citizens of the surrounding
country, for wiles in every direction,
have crowded ii to the meetings and
helped to swell the great concourse of
eager listeners and anxious inquirers,
all moved by a mighty impu'se, unin
terrupteoly for two solid weeks. The
interest ii these meetings was good
from the first. but as the days pased it
became great and greater still, and as
the nights came it grew in intensity
and power, uutii it has flooded New
berry with a light unsurpessed in all
these years of blight ano waste. So
great was the feeling that business was
practi-ally surpended during the morn
ing hour of eelvice, and our wercbacta
and other business men aid not, with
but few exceptions, resist the Spirit in
tne earnest etorts that were made to
purge this town of all uncleanness and
ti: it for the indwelling of righteous
nese.
A feeling has come over the wbole
C:owmunity that is indescribable; a
itillness pervaded even the streets
not very unlike the stillness of death
r de ~ation. hnt more like the seren
ity of a quiet Sabbath of unexpresed
*aoe that pames understanding: astill
Uess that has penetrated almost every
aouse of business, almost every resi- i
ience and almost every heart: and a
treat calIn has settled upon the con
nunity that has made many a young
:nan throw down hi. cards, many an
Ader one put aside his bottle, and
iany a young woman resolve to give
p her dancing: a calm that has made
be blasphemer passe. the swearer cease
tis swearing: and that has caused tne
J:offer to fee1, if not acknowledge, that
his deep stilinese, this terrible ealm
es, this awful quietness, this solemn
iiencee. is the forerunner of ajudgmnent I
o come. The events of the meeings
tave toeen grand and inspiring. TheI
:rowdec parcuet, tbe packed drese cir
:ie, the over-uiowing galiery, the fall
~tage, every seat in the building oceu
died, and extra neata filling the aisles,
a'ith even the stanaing espacity of the
ionse tested ;o its fullest: men, women;
tad ebildren up stai:s and down stairs,
s'herever they could get a seat,-was a

forcibly, without hyptocriey. truth uly
fearfully and fearle:l.y; butt ple-u't
more tenderly and lovingly to the hin
ner to turn and look. If he <-calS "t
ally ues a harab word it is becauh" i
obeys the command of his .Mster t
"cry aloud and spare not," airl to tel
the people of thpir sins-be outtl
demoustrates the ligurt- of the two)
edged sword. He is broad ani libertt
in his views, and combines com,ini
sense with knowledge and wonderftu
familiarity of the >ible. He is it
tensely religious, w-thout b,ing fannL
Ical, bigoted or iarrow-rninded lu thi
least. He is surely the ideal wan o
God, "a legate of the skies," clothe'
with divine authority to preach trutl
to a wicked and perverse generatior
Endowed with wisdom from- on hig
acd imbued with the very essence o
piety, be preaches v:itb such force
such naturalnes:1, such grscefulties
without self-consciousness, such wil'
someness, that m-n, weuen and chil
dren, of all cla.. es and conditions
drink in the sentences that flow fror,
his lips. People look into each others
faces as the preacher closes the Sacre<
Book frow which he has been traus
witting the intelligence and beauty o
heaven and the glory of immortality
and see in each other's looks feelingt
of wonder that the old story should b
yet so new to thern.
Mr. Pearson's arguments are logical
clear and convincing, and bis conclu
sions reasonable and irresistible. ?F
like his preaching so much that we
have no desire to pick a t'aw in any o
his sermons, if we could. The lengti
of this article ana the space of the pa
per forbid a synopsis of tbese sermons
wbic we would like to give. We
wish it were possible to reproduce al
the strong points of the series. The3
were a "feast of reason and flow 0
soul."
These meetings will rcr'ult in lasting
benefit to this community. Not the
least of the good that has been accor
plished is the great and precious influ
ene that has been brought to beal
upon the mewmbersbip of the differant
churebes. There will be a higher
standard of holy living and Christian
activity as one of the bappy effects 01
the meeting. A pastor tells us that
not .ss than fifty names have been
and will be added to the different
church rolls, as follows Lurberan. 4;
Baptist. 11-1 by letter: Associate Pre
forrned Presbyterian, 6; Methodist, 20.
The aession of the Presbyterian church
is to meet to-night. It is expected
that there will be 1) or 1:1 accesions to
that church. There will also be acce
sions to the Episcopal ciurch.
During the meeting the coratribu
tions amounted to .45 81. The ex
pf-nse= were w: 1.5. The balance:
$347.66, was presented to M-. Pears n
as a thank olerinz.
Mr. Pearson wail conduct his next
meeting at Yorkville, on znnday. He
leaves Newberrv with the profcundeat
gratitude of the hearts of our eizens,
and the love of all for himwse and his
noble wife.
May the peaceful influence that has
been and is now exerted over this com
mun=ty continue to show itself in all
our lives and actions..
